Abstract Ursula K. Le Guin, known as the queen of the fantasy, is one of the most important writers in American science fiction. Her science fiction The Left Hand of Darkness is the representative work of The Ekumen. From the view of Genly Ai, the envoy of Ekumen, the book exhibits a total different world of the Planet Gethen, from its geographical conditions, cultural patterns to its sexual characteristics - androgyny. From the perspective of feminism, this thesis discusses Genly Ai’s progress of his change in his sexuality and gender cognition from his contradiction to androgynous Gethenian, gradual elimination of his male perspective to the forming of his new sexuality. It is hoped that it could infer the way in which we relate to the opposite sex from Genly’s experience.51881
